Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences Annual Report 1 Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences 2003–2004 Letter from the Director and Chair Dear Colleagues:

The Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences was profoundly honored to be named one of 8 new Presidential Interdisciplinary Initiatives this year. The President’s increased commitment to the Consortium allows us to expand our work and move to the next level of excellence. Through the Presidential Initiative, we will take on the following projects in the coming year: • launching the Minnesota Journal of Law, Science & Technology, a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal edited by University of Minnesota faculty and Law students; • bringing a Visiting Senior Scholar to campus for one semester each year to teach and share ideas on the societal implications of the life sciences; Prof. Susan Wolf, Director and Chair. • increasing the capacity to seek and manage externally funded grants; • directly supporting work on the implications of the life sciences by Consortium member centers or graduate/professional programs participating in the Joint Degree Program; and • continuing all programming and events, bringing to campus eminent scholars and national leaders in these fields.

Both the Consortium and Joint Degree Program saw continued success in 2003-04. The Consortium added 2 member centers in 2003-04: Prof. Mary Jo Kreitzer’s Center for Spirituality and Healing and Profs. James Anderson’s and Deborah Swackhamer’s Water Resources Center. Our new Executive Committee allowed us to take better advantage of Consortium and Joint Degree Program expertise by broadening leadership of our intellectual work. We also hosted our first visiting scholar, Prof. William Sage from Columbia University. We submitted 3 grant proposals, while working on an NIH grant on the implications of haplotype mapping of the human genome for social categories of race and ethnicity.

The Joint Degree Program welcomed 7 new students in Fall 2003 and will welcome 6 more in Fall 2004 for a total of 22 students. We added a JD/MS and JD/PhD with the graduate program in Natural Resources Science & Management. We now offer 21 degree combinations and a choice of 3 graduate minors: Bioethics, Human Genetics, and Bioinformatics.

Our programming made dramatic advances as well. In 2003-04 we presented a spectacular roster of speakers Prof. Jim Chen, Director of Special Projects. on challenges in human subjects research in our Faegre & Benson Lecture Series on Law, Health & the Life Sciences. Our Lunch Series on the Societal Implications of the Life Sciences focused on agricultural and environmental ethics. We also offered a national conference on “Environmental Threats to Children’s Health: Legal and Policy Challenges.” Our annual symposium was a full-day event on “Intellectual Property Rights for the Public Good: Obligations of U.S. Universities to Developing Countries.” And with the Center for Bioethics, we launched the new Deinard Memorial Lecture Series on Law & Medicine. We are particularly proud that our programming is now yielding scholarly publications, including published symposia from both the conference and full-day symposium.

In 2004-05 we will again present 10 events: 3 presentations in the Lecture Series addressing genomics, stem cell research, and biotechnology; 4 presentations in the Lunch Series focusing on medical devices and innovation; a conference on science and politics; an open-source symposium; and a second Deinard Memorial Lecture on Law & Medicine.

The Consortium and Joint Degree Program are now well established. Both programs enjoy a national reputation. Thanks to Presidential Initiative funding, we are moving to a new level of productivity. Our excitement is tremendous as we tackle what remain the most challenging issues of our time, those issues at the intersection, of law, ethics, policy, and the life sciences.

2 Annual Report Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences 2003–2004 Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences Update on the Joint Degree Program and Consortium The Joint Degree Program In 2003-04, the Joint Degree Program graduated another student, added JD/MS and JD/PhD options with the Graduate Program in Natural Resources Science & Management, and launched the Deinard Memorial Lecture Series on Law & Medicine with the Center for Bioethics. The Joint Degree Program and Consortium together sponsored 9 additional events: 4 lectures in the Lunch Series on the Societal Implication of the Life Science focusing on environmental and agricultural ethics; 3 lectures in the Faegre & Benson Lecture Series on Law, Health & the Life Sciences focusing on challenges in human subjects research; a national conference on “Environmental Threats to Children’s Health: Legal and Policy Challenges,” and a symposium on “Intellectual Property Rights for the Public Good: Obligations of U.S. Universities to Developing Countries.” Both the conference and the symposium were featured as part of the University of Minnesota President’s 21st Century Interdisciplinary Conference Series.

The Joint Degree Program remains unique in the nation and now enables students to combine a JD with a PhD, MS, MPH, or MD in one of 13 graduate and professional programs in less time, with more academic support, and with potentially more financial support than if the students were to pursue the 2 degrees separately. Students who show good cause may also create an ad hoc joint degree with a Graduate School program relating to health, environment, or the life sciences that is not formally part of the Joint Degree Program. Students pursuing Graduate School degrees have the option of completing graduate minors in Bioethics, Bioinformatics, or Human Genetics. The Joint Degree Program spans 8 collegiate units plus the Center for Bioethics and involves more than 400 faculty members. We partner with 13 graduate and professional programs on campus and offer the following degree combinations: Audience at Prof. David Ehrenfeld’s • a JD with an MS or PhD in Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology & Genetics Lunch Series lecture. • a JD with an MS or PhD in Pharmacology • a JD with an MS in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy • a JD with an MD in Medicine • a JD with an MS or PhD in Health Services Research, Policy, and Administration • a JD with an MPH in Public Health Administration • a JD with an MPH in Epidemiology • a JD with an MPH in Maternal and Child Health • a JD with an MPH in Community Health Education • a JD with an MS or PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior • a JD with an MS or PhD in Conservation Biology • a JD with an MS, PhD, or MPH in Environmental Health • a JD with an MS or PhD in Natural Resources Science and Management

Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences Annual Report 3 Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences 2003–2004 The Consortium on Law and Values In 2003-04, the Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences was named one of 8 Presidential Interdisciplinary Initiatives by University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks. We added 2 member centers, the Center for Spirituality and Healing and the Water Resources Center. We began work on an NIH grant on the implications of haplotype mapping and submitted 2 new NIH grant applications. We created a new Executive Committee to facilitate the work of the Consortium and Joint Degree Program and spread the intellectual responsibility. Through its Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the Consortium awarded 4 faculty grants, 4 student grants, and 2 grants to centers, totaling $62,550.

The Consortium now coordinates among and builds on the strengths of 16 University centers and programs, establishing a national identity for the University of Minnesota as a leading institution working on law and values Rep. Jean Wagenius participated in health, environment, and the life sciences.

6 Annual Report Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences 2003–2004 Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences Joint Degree Program Proseminar

The Joint Degree Program Proseminar is a course required of all Joint Degree Program students each Fall and open with permission of the instructors to other Law students with advanced degrees in health or the life sciences. Entitled “Law, Health & the Life Sciences: Joint Degree Program Proseminar,” Law 6875 is a one-credit pass/fail seminar that meets Wednesdays over lunch and provides a supportive and collegial forum in which students can explore the interdisciplinary issues our Joint Degree Program addresses with faculty from the cooperating programs and beyond. Guest speakers meet with the group to explore the legal, ethical, and policy implications of their work. The roster of speakers changes every year.

In the Fall of 2003, the Proseminar was led by Prof. Susan Wolf, Prof. Colin Campbell, and Dr. Lisa Jones. The schedule featured: • Prof. Susan Wolf on law, medicine, and bioethics • Prof. Colin Campbell on the training of U.S. scientists • Prof. Jeffrey Kahn on cutting-edge issues in human subjects research • Prof. David Tilman on the science of biodiversity and its policy implications • Ruth Mickelsen, Esq. (Vice President of Ethics and Compliance, Allina Hospitals and Clinics) and Nancy Feldman (CEO, UCare) on challenges in the managed care system and future implications • Prof. Ronald Phillips on biotechnology, golden rice, and ethics • Prof. Mark Paller on technology transfer • Prof. Dan Kaufman on embryo stem cell research and policy issues • Dr. Lisa Jones on corporate-sponsored academic research • Prof. Jim Chen on the effect of informatics, biology, and law on ecology Prof. Susan Wolf at the Proseminar. • Prof. Will Hueston on the University of Minnesota’s food system biosecurity project • Prof. Judith Garrard on the social implications of pharmacoepidemiology research • Prof. Laura Ranum on human genetics and gene mapping

In 2004-05, the Proseminar will be divided into 2 sections. The first section will follow the current format: brief weekly presentations made by faculty drawn from graduate and professional programs affiliated with the Joint Degree Program, followed by discussion led by students. The first section will be required for students with less than 2 semesters of experience in the Proseminar and open to non-Joint Degree Program students by consent of the instructor if space permits. In the second, more advanced section, Joint Degree Program students themselves will make the bulk of the presentations to their peers. Section 2 will be comprised of Joint Degree Program students who have already completed 2 or more semesters of Proseminar. Each student will be responsible for making one presentation per term. Students will be given broad latitude in choosing topics to present. Options include: results from their own research (either lab- or literature-based), a published article, or an overview of a developing topic within their general field of study. This 2-section format was designed to meet the needs of all Joint Degree Program students and to prepare advanced students to meet the challenges ahead.

Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences Annual Report 17 Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences 2003–2004 Deinard Memorial Lecture on Law & Medicine

The Joint Degree Program and Center for Bioethics launched the Deinard Memorial Lecture Series on Law & Medicine in the Spring of 2004. This lecture series is supported by a generous donation from the family of Amos S. Deinard, Sr. (1898-1985) in honor of him and his brother, Benedict S. Deinard (1899-1969). The Deinard brothers were founding partners of the Minneapolis-based law firm of Leonard, Street and Deinard. Both attended the University of Minnesota Law School and Harvard Law School. Amos Deinard was a distinguished attorney widely known for his persistent work to eliminate discrimination in hiring. Appointed to the Minneapolis Fair Employment Practices Commission in 1945 by Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey, he served on the Commission for 17 years, 15 of them as chairman. Benedict Deinard was a successful trial lawyer, an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota, a Deputy Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice during World War II, and one of 4 civilians asked to participate in the Nuremberg Left: Amos S. Deinard, Sr. (1898-1985). war crimes trials. A fund has been created in their memory to establish this lecture series on law and medicine. Right: Benedict S. Deinard (1899-1969). On February 26, 2004, Prof. Troyen Brennan, MD, JD, MPH, of Harvard University presented the inaurgural Deinard Memorial Lecture on “The Crisis in Patient Safety and Malpractice: Fixing Medicine and Law.” Prof. Brennan is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Professor of Law and Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health, and President of Brigham and Women’s Physicians Organization. Prof. Brennan presented empirical evidence on the state of the malpractice crisis in American medicine, but contended that litigation bears little relationship to medical injury and error, and most medical errors that result in injuries do not result in claims. Prof. Brennan argued that the malpractice crisis requires tort reform efforts and presented options for reform. Carol Ley, MD, Director of Occupational Medicine at 3M and Chair of the National Patient Safety Foundation, and Prof. Roby C. Thompson, MD, Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs at the University of Minnesota Medical School and CEO and Chair of University of Minnesota Physicians, provided commentary following Prof. Brennan’s lecture.

During his visit at the University of Minnesota, Prof. Brennan also presented a lecture on “Medical Errors, Patient Safety, and Medical Litigation” as part of the Medical School’s On Doctoring series for students and faculty.

Prof. Ellen Wright Clayton, MD, JD of Vanderbilt University will present the second Deinard Memorial Lecture on Friday, February 25, 2005 in the Mississippi Room at Coffman Memorial Union. Her presentation will focus on the societal implications of progress in genetics and genomics, including the implications for privacy, discrimination, and group identity.

Since the Consortium was founded in 2000, one of our primary goals has been to reach the point where we could compete for grants to originate important work on the societal implications of the life sciences. This has required a tremendous effort on the part of all Consortium members and our Consortium staff.

In 2003 the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at NIH funded the grant proposal the Consortium submitted in July 2002 on “Colliding Categories: Haplotypes, Race & Ethnicity.” This project has involved an eminent national group of scholars to analyze how the information emerging from haplotype mapping of the human genome will and should interact with preexisting social categories of race and ethnicity. Scholars included in our project have been: Profs. Troy Duster, PhD (New York University and University of California, Berkeley); Phyllis Griffin Epps, JD (University of Houston); Kim Fortun, PhD (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute); Evelynn Hammonds, PhD (Harvard University); Jonathan Marks, PhD (University of North Carolina, Charlotte); Michael Omi, PhD (University of California, Berkeley); Dorothy Roberts, JD (Northwestern University); and Charmaine Royal, PhD (Howard University); and University of Minnesota Profs.

Each lecture brings to campus an eminent scholar examining the societal implications of the life sciences, who lectures to and meets with faculty, students, and community members. The focus for the 2003-04 Lunch Series was agricultural and environmental ethics and policy. All lectures were standing-room only. The Lunch Series speakers were:

September 22, 2003 Prof. Dale Jamieson, Carleton College. Prof. Dale Jamieson, PhD, was the Henry R. Luce Professor in Human Dimensions of Global Change at Carleton College; he is now Professor of Environmental Studies and Philosophy at New York University and Adjunct Scientist for the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s Environmental and Societal Impacts Group. He presented “Science, Ethics, and the Animal Protection Movement." Prof. Jamieson described evidence that human attitudes toward animals are changing. He pointed to legal changes as well as Animal Law courses increasingly taught at Americanlaw schools. He showed how these changes have emerged from scientific developments. He suggested ways to improve oversight of animal use in research.

November 17, 2003 Prof. David Ehrenfeld, MD, PhD, Professor of Biology in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers University’s Cook College, presented “Globalization to Biodiversity.” Prof. Ehrenfeld argued that globalization is resulting in widespread social and environmental disruption.
